Intérprete: Leila Josefowicz

Familiar and unfamiliar Sibelius, a coruscating violin concerto and a recent score by Caroline Shaw are the elements of Dalia Stasevska’s noteworthy debut.

Stepping in for an indisposed Marta Gardolińska, the guest conductor leads a virtuosic performance of Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra paired with Leila Josefowičz playing Szymanowski’s Second Violin Concerto.

Leila Josefowicz’s clear and incisive tones sears through thickets of dissonance in Alban Berg's Violin Concerto, “To the Memory of an Angel”. 

By the close of the performance, one sensed that the audience’s exhilaration stemmed less from polished execution and more from a shared immersion in the music’s dramatic arc—elements that lingered as the defining memory of this eventful evening.

Julia Perry and two Europeans exiled to America feature in Susanna Mälkki's London Symphony Orchestra programme, featuring Leila Josefowicz as soloist in Stravinsky's Violin Concerto. 

In addition to the New York premiere of Luca Francesconi’s Duende: The Dark Notes, the evening is marked by an intriguing coupling of Strauss' Metamorphosen and Ravel's La Valse. 

Virtuoso violinist and contemporary muse Leila Josefowicz talks about her efforts to add new pieces to the violin repertoire.
